One of the things I love about certain glacial lakes is their color. The natural color of these lakes can be breathtakingly stunning. They seem to be illuminated best when the sun is plunging it's raw energy deep into the surface creating a deep bright aquamarine that is so beautiful it seems almost unnatural. This particular morning was a blight of low fog, with not much to be seen down low. But I had took a read on the satellite and cloud composition, and guessed that the low clouds were likely to burn off at some point so I climbed up as high as I could go in gray soup and sat for hours in the wet cold wind of Patagonia alone. A clearing opened up for seconds and closed again... another hour went by and I was preparing to leave when this gap opened revealing the shrouded Cuernos and the beautiful aquamarine lake below.
